| Al-Qaeda use dogs as bombs |
| 2010-11-06 |
| ISLAMIC terrorists tried to down a US cargo plane using exploding BULLDOGS, it emerged yesterday. Two animals, stuffed with bombs and detonators, were found by US officers at Baghdad airport. The bombs had been primed to explode during the aircraft's flight to LA. But the dogs were never loaded on board as they had been killed by the lethal substances inside them. The discovery, kept secret for two years, was revealed in France, days after explosives were found inside printer cartridges last week. One terrorism expert said: "It shows al-Qaeda militants' determination to wreak destruction by any means." |

| #6 They can't rely on President McCain to handle the situation while they continue to vilify him anymore. |

| #5 My impression, tw, is that EU leaders are now trying to make the public case for a lot tighter security. This after years of opposing said approach by the US. But I confess I haven't the time to research that impression in any detail ... As to the use of dogs, it reminds me of the videos of Al Qaeda testing chemical weapons on dogs in Afghan. |

| #4 Another reason to despise AQ (as if I needed one) - though I have doubts as to the veracity of this report. |

| #3 The discovery, kept secret for two years, was revealed in France, days after explosives were found inside printer cartridges last week. The poor bulldogs died of explosives poisoning in Baghdad two years ago. The story was revealed in France last week. How very odd. |

| #2 Pigs are smart animals. Maybe the US could develop a new smart bomb called the "Ham grenade". |

| #1 I knew, before completing the first sentence, that this sensationalist story would had to have come from The Sun. |
